Call for Papers:

Papers are invited on a broad range of themes in the areas of contrastive linguistics provided they address one or more of the following topics:

- Corpus-based research and its relationship with contrastive studies

- Relations between contrastive linguistics and translation

- The role of theoretical frameworks; comparability, incommensurability and the tertium comparationis; the necessity and significance of the 'socio-cultural link'

- Different frameworks on contrasting languages

- The significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description on the one hand and general interface issues on the other (e.g. phonology/ morphology/ syntax/ /semantics/pragmatics)

- Contrasts between languages at the levels of text, register, discourse, and information structure; contrasts between dialects; contrasts between dialects and standard languages
